I agree that role-playing originally referred to "playing a role" not acting but like most terms, over time the emphasis changed.
The opinion piece I attached below from Dragon #102 (October 1985) has Gary Gygax weighing in on the issue way back then.
(Note: I have not re-read this yet, just went and found it in my boxes in the basement and scanned it, so will be back later to see what it has wrought and what I think).
